**The First Turtle Figure (Color Version with Orange Mask)
By Mondo

–>> ** The first 4 editions of this figure are sold out on MONDO’s shop site & need to be purchased 3rd party at this point.

In 1983, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were doodling on napkins, playing around with an idea that initially began as a joke. Little did they know what started as a sketch, would turn into the phenomena known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Mondo is proud to honor the history of the Turtles with a figure based on the very first illustration of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, as drawn by Kevin Eastman. Featuring 5 points of articulation, and illustration-accurate details, The First Turtle is perfect for TMNT and comic history fans alike!

This version features a color paint scheme with an orange mask.

Note: This item is a PRE-ORDER and is estimated to ship the 4th Quarter of 2015.
material: PVC
size: Approx. 6.5″

You may remember Langdon Foss’s IDW TMNT #20 Cover – Bobby, Tom and crew incorporated Langdon’s “KRANG MECH” design on the cover into the story-line of Krang’s war with the Neutrinos as the giant robotic-holographic BRAIN-Beast attacked Zak & the Turtles.

My artist buddy Timothy Lim (Ninjaink) and I have done some officially licensed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirts and merch designs before, but this is our first foray into the TMNT comics!  This is our variant cover for TMNT: Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything! #1.We did this as a joint venture with Heroes & Fantasies (San Antonio’s largest comic shop) and the Palladium IMAX theater (hence the movie parody; you can guess the source material).  The cover will be released on June 1st.  Tim will be at the Palladium IMAX in San Antonio on June 4th for a signing, coinciding with the release of TMNT: Out of the Shadows.  (Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, I won’t be able to make the signing.)If you can’t make it to Heroes & Fantasies or the Palladium IMAX, then Tim will be selling copies directly via the Ninjaink Facebook page.  Just shoot him a PM and he can hook you up.

It was a lot of fun; thanks to the guys at IDW and Nickelodeon who approved the design and were such good sports for the parody! —

**Patty Duke Mental Health Project on CrowdRise**

 

Patty-Duke-+-family
Patty Duke and Sons : Sean & Mackenzie Astin after receiving her Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004.

To each of you, all of you and the entire world :-)))

My mother’s life touched tens of millions of people. Her ground-breaking portrayal of iconic American legend Helen Keller launched a career that would span six decades. First on broadway and then on the silver screen, Patty Duke’s characterization of the extraordinary development of the blind/deaf child brought global attention to the plight of people living with those challenges.

This kind of illuminating and compassionate work became the sacred mission of her life. She became a voice for the voiceless and a reassuring presence for the scared, the intimidated and the lost. She was a healer of many souls and a champion for so many in need.

Anna (her given name) fought for civil rights, gay rights and the rights of working actors to name just a few. Her greatest achievement was confronting her mental illness and making her story public. She crossed the Nation speaking and campaigning and lobbying for mental health. My mom took her place as a mental health advocate in the greatest tradition of noble leadership.

Ultimately, her colossal energy and indomitable spirit charged her life and bolstered the sense of purpose and intention that defined her existence. Through countless and often agonizing struggles, she was a deeply committed and tireless WARRIOR.

Before her passing, before the suffering became too great, we talked about how the core mission of her mental health work might continue beyond her life. This initiative will fuel a multi-level approach to achieving results for those suffering with mental illness, and for their families and communities. Public awareness campaigns, lobbying efforts, and supporting a multitude of mental health programs big and small will be organized, prioritized and vigorously pursued.

The funds raised here will establish the Patty Duke Mental Health Initiative: the legal expenses, the formation of a board of directors, the establishing of a location, the hiring of an experienced executive director to manage professional fundraising, initial staffing and all of the costs associated with launching an endeavor of this sort.

Thank you for your love and support. On behalf of my mother, her husband, her children and grandchildren, her family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, supporters, partners and her adoring fans, I give a great big hug and much much love!!!

Yours, Sean Astin

NICK GAMES :: 20070101141837482 CHECK OUT Nick’s new – RETRO TOON Turtle style game “KICKIN’ IT OLD SCHOOL” !! Featuring the original Toon voice cast !!!!!

  • ON THE Turtle-TOY FRONT :: The TMNT Movie 2 figure line officially announced by Playmates was set for APRIL 10. I believe a special arrangement with Walmart allowed the toys to appear about a week early on palettes delivered to the Walmart stores across the nation and on their toy pegs. As of this week, more stores like Target are getting the basic, vehicle and playsets associated with the film like the Technodrome and the Tactical Truck.

Revoltech - Mike

Some T-drome members and i have found a couple not so overwhelming but interesting finds on the Walmart website.

MUCKMAN NOT CANCELLED !! MUCKMAN-toyUPDATEFollowing up on ** Nacho’s TMNT Latin America report on MUCKMAN  being an AMAZON EXCLUSIVE, i was able to reach out to Aubrie at **Playmates finally and get the REAL info on what the heck is going on with releases like Muckman and all the other confusing supposed “cancellations” some fans seem to fly off the handle with and upset everyone about..

TOY FAIR '13 PEEK

–     [ in regards to Mix and Match Leatherhead, ect. ]     Our Mix N Match figures are currently on HOLD so that we can push new TV characters from the show on Nickelodeon, which is in Season 4.    –  MEANING THE LINE AND LEATHERHEAD ARE NOT CANCELLED, just on hiatus..~ t

–      [ in regards to Half Shell Heroes Rahzar & Roach, and possible Kriby, Mutagen Man, and hopefully Karai ]     The HSH Rahzar and Cockroach is shipping and should be hitting shelves at major retailers mid-February.

–       [ in regards to the Basic Triceraton, looks like we may ONLY be getting Mozar — maybe this wiull change but for now  ]   The “Basic Triceraton” is Mozar.  He was an Exclusive to Walmart in the month of December, stopped shipping for January and will be hitting shelves in all major retailers now.

Atilla and friends
Muckman and friends

–       [ Dream Beaver DIRE ]    Dire Beaver and Dark Beaver should be hitting shelves in June at all major retailers.

3pk_2

–         [ TMNT sidekick 3-pack – perhaps a restructuring of distribution is in order for this one..  ] The Icecream Kitty, Cluckingsworth and Spike Turtle 3 pack was removed from Target’s website and we are no longer moving forward with it. 

–      [ MUCKMAN ]    Muckman is set to be released in 2017.

–        [ KRAANG PRIME, this was never promised for release – only his prototype was released ]  We are no longer moving forward with the KRAANG PRIME.

 

KRAANG PRIME PROTO

..keep in mind things ALWAYS change in this business, and Nickelodeon & Playmates are constantly in a state of flux with these decisions. Fan input is important, and speculation run amok isn’t going to help anyone. If you are really concerned about your favourite release being cancelled – – it’s best to be calm, polite, respectful, patient and direct with your concerns and go straight to the horse’s mouth to get the answers you need. I’ll keep you posted as i learn more.

–>> Here we go, wrapping up this break-down of the “History- ” set with 1 final installment..

2014’s movie Leo release is Another figure that retains minimal modification, possibly due to it’s more recent release of the carded version. Updated copyright info, the threaded pegholes, and potentially a slightly off-molded head. The changes are so small compared to the carded retail version

Nickelodeon "HISTORY OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" FEATURING LEONARDO - Nick LEONARDO vi / ..with Paramount TMNT Movie LEONARDO '14 iii / ..with Paramount Movie LEO '14 (( 2015 ))

I mostly use the “Paramount Movie” tag to distinguish the 2014 movie reboot from the original films. Not that it’s hard to do that. My “tOkKustom” repaint of the standard carded Leo figure was to heighten the details of the Varner sculpt, not necessarily to go for hyper-detailed movie accuracy. It suffices i suppose.

 

Nickelodeon "HISTORY OF TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" FEATURING LEONARDO - Paramount Movie LEO '14 iv (( 2015 ))The two noggins on the toy seem slightly different. But i highly suspect a manufacturing issue on that note.

..bottom line, aside from the Giant KID-SIZED TMNT figures we’ve seen during the Holidays from JAKKS ( Mikey and Leo so far ) – – we may see other scale figs. Jakks has been putting out larger Nintendo, ZELDA, MARIO, STAR WARS, WWE, HALO and the like. There may be another scale offered by Jakks akin to those other franchise lines. We’ll see. NY TOY FAIR is around the corner.
